Meet the Common Frog (Rana temporaria) — a fascinating amphibian with a voice all its own.

What sound does a Common Frog make? A Common Frog makes a throaty croak. Press the play button above to hear a real Common Frog croak and listen to exactly how it sounds.

A frog croaks by pushing air over its vocal cords and puffing out a balloon-like vocal sac. Listening closely is a lovely way to get to know the Common Frog and tell it apart from other amphibians.

Amphibians call mostly to attract a mate near water. For the Common Frog, these sounds are an important part of daily life.
